Kingston, Rhode Island Picture yourself here T


he University of Rhode Island is the largest university in the nation’s smallest state. With 14,653 undergraduates, we offer the


experiences and research you’d expect at a much larger university, yet we’re small enough to be friendly, intimate, and student centered. Here, you’ll study and work alongside some of


the world’s leading innovators, discoverers, and problem solvers. With a student-faculty ratio of 16:1, our students and faculty make the kind of personal connections that inspire creative ideas and research collaboration. In fact, it’s pretty common for students to say one of the biggest surprises for them at URI is just how much fac- ulty members care about their academic achieve- ments and career development.
